While Longstreet's brigades were reaching the top of the mountains, the Federals were steadily marching heavy columns up to push their way through.

Dead men were lying in such piles in some places that the living could hardly get by, and yet the rash endeavor was kept up. So clearly did those Federals who had stubbornly battled against the position recognize that it was useless to continue such assaults, that General Humphreys says they
